Historic Norwegian “Amtskart” Maps

Continuing my series on maps, here is a beautiful historic map that covers all of Norway and clearly shows farm locations. Provided by Statens Kartverk, this map is actually a searchable composite map created by stitching together multiple historic “Amtskartene” (county maps) drawn between 1826-1916. Each county had up to 4 separate maps; here, the map has been rectified so it joins together and overlays perfectly on a contemporary map. Use the tools in the map window below to view other areas, or to view the map in a larger window go to norgeskart.no and choose “Historical Map Series” then “Historisk Amtskart” in the menu on the left.
